I gotta tell you, I just don't get it. Everywhere I look, Rainbows is the top album of the year. And yet, everytime a song from Rainbows pops up on my random play, I skip it. Because it's boring, directionless and forgettable. I know, every music-person disagrees with me, but someone had to say it.

Most of the others look good and some I don't know but will check out...
